Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Run a 30°C cotton programme with a normal load and check if the code repeats.
  2. Power-cycle at the wall for 10 minutes.
  3. If H returns, the heating element or thermostat has failed.

Call a professional when…

Reset first; then the element, thermostat or wiring is tested by an engineer. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
